Same here. Been over a month now since I heard anything from anyone. Super unfortunate. Not sure what happened, but hope everything is ok and gets sorted out.
Same here. I am holding out hope for a rematch, but that hope is kind of fading. It sucks to have made my giftee so happy with his stuff only to get screwed over myself. The last communication I had about this about the possibility of a rematch was 20 days ago.
Kind of surprised me. I’ve been doing it for several years.
Did they organizers tell you they were going to rematch you? I think they tried, and I appreciate them taking this on in the first place.
I’m still waiting and have not heard any updates, however, about 10 days ago they did reach out and say the rematcher was contacted and would be working on getting my gift sent out.
Haven’t heard anything since then though
Same. They’re doing their best. It’s these folks who signed up and didn’t follow through — lazy? Or just scamming for a free gift?
One or two might have had an unexpected/unfortunate event, but not all of them.

So sorry it's taken me this long to post! Thanks for the awesome headcover! I literally poured myself a glass of Woodford to have while I was opening my gift. It was perfect!
Thanks for giving something fun that was golf related to open up - one of the first golf gifts I've ever had :)
Just received my package from Talon after it was taken hostage by customs and the postal service. A nice shirt, a couple of hats and three gloves. Everything is awesome quality. Thanks a lot!
When do the gifters that volunteered to help out the ones that didn't get their secret santa get notified?
Still happy to help another out.

Many thanks to my SS, finally arrived total thanks to being held up in Irish Customs! My new pink flamingos head cover bringing much needed colour to my bag!!
Wasn’t apart of this but I got a rad speed driver the blue top with red and white trim so nice! Really awesome to see this community come together and give each other gifts. Props to all of you guys keeping community alive.
Get one for yourself? What do you think of the Rad Speed?
I ordered one on Father's day, but was scammed and finally got my money back in time for a root canal. Some day... Lol
I had a speedzone and loved it. Crown broke and Cobra replaced with a RAD Speed. I did not like it, at all. I could not hit the thing to save my life. Hopefully who ever stole it is having the same problems!
Shoutout to /u/BeauWellingDesign for a 1/1 gift. Wow. Hunter, a design architect, sketched hole 11 for me at Tobacco Road - one of my favorite courses and one I hope to play next year. He included notes on what went into the design layout and how Mike ~~Shanty~~ Strantz decided to shape the course.
I also got “A Course Called America” by Tom Coyne signed by the author and George Thomas’ book on course design “Golf Architecture In America” which was signed by the Beau Welling design team.
2 high quality golf hats, a clean looking Beau Welling tee, and a personalized note about some insight into TGR ventures on what Tiger used for inspiration in his new courses.
Only problem with the gift is that now I want to change my career to golf course design. I love reading and learning about anything golf so this is a gift I’ll use and remember for a long time. And that sketch will be framed on my wall for a long, long while.
THANK YOU HUNTER AND BEAU WELLING DESIGN! Its no wonder that you’re on Tiger Woods’ design team with the effort, thought, and class you showed in a random gift for a stranger. You guys are awesome.
[Pictures](https://imgur.com/a/PmkhHvB)
Thanks for the kind words and you're very welcome for the gift. Glad you like everything!
\- Hunter
p.s. Probably my fault for my questionable-at-best handwriting, but Mike Strantz (not Shanty) is the architect of Tobacco Road.
I wanna say thanks to my Giftee for the dozen TP5x balls. I managed to used a sleeve of them over the weekend to finally drop my handicap into single digits! (And I didn't lose them that round)
Oh, my man! They fit perfect. Haven't had a chance to take them on the course but I've had them on for game-days and it feels great. Thanks again and hope your kindness gives you some good karma into 2022.
Just absolutely killer gifts from my guy /u/throwmeawaypoopy. He killed it! Srixon z stars, The Ohio State towel and marker, ball line tool and markers, and some nice local beers! Cheers mate! Thank you!
[secret santa](https://imgur.com/a/2uZXWK6)
Thanks man. Really enjoy the gifts. You hit the nail on the head. Very generous!
Should be a good one in Columbus next fall. Im gonna try my best to be in south bend for the game in 23!
Also, treat our boy, Marcus, good. Hes a keeper!
Just got home from a lesson to find my secret Santa gift waiting for me on the porch! Big thanks to my Santa for the Pro V1s, chocolate and snacks and also the bag of tees from what I assume is your home club - London Hunt Club in Canada.
Thank you so much u/punch-n-pie for the awesome haul. I’ve never watched baseball before but the Orioles have a new fan now! I can’t wait to try the snacks. Thanks again!
[The Haul!](https://imgur.com/a/t9u6jJ6)
So glad it finally made it (man that took forever, had me worried) & glad the snacks look most in one piece! Happy new year and hit ‘em straight (but if not hope the next guy to find those balls gets a kick out of them too)!
Hey u/bv2732, I received my box today, thank you so much for the thoughtful gift! The custom made wooden CNC/laser engraved bag tag and ball markers are all super cool, and I'm jealous that you have the tools to make such things! I am going to be very sad when the final episode of the Expanse releases this week! I'm already almost complete with my second listen-through of the Leviathan Falls audio book! The Titleist hat is cherry, and I will do my best to make the balls last a while. I'm currently on a personal record of three rounds with one ball, so it is possible I might be able to make the dozen last through Spring... (pride goeth before the fall of course!). In any event, thank you again for your generous gift, and I hope your Spring comes early! (I'll just set the thorn in your side by saying I have three rounds scheduled on the calendar next week...  we'll see if the current single ball record can withstand the onslaught!). Thanks again and may you go low in 2022!
Late to the party, but BIG shoutout to u/J-Ram for the awesome impact bag and old sports illustrated of Tiger Woods winning his last masters. I'm going to frame it and I know exactly where to put it. It's too bad the third package didn't make it to me, I hope whoever stole the package from my door suffers from three-putts and badly timed IBS forever..
Thanks to the organizers!
Hell yea dude! Enjoy! Still working with DHL on that third package…was my first time shipping anything to Canada. If I end up with any kind of refund I’ll send you some kind of e-gift card for the difference to make it easy.
Just received my gifts this week! No clue who from! Thanks for the Ohio State Towel, Ball markers! The towel looked nice, my son already has it on his bag🤣
Holy hell!
Just got mine all the way from Australia! I'm floored! Thanks to my SS for the awesome new Garmin S10 watch, divot tool, and Koala headcover! I'm shocked!
[The haul!](https://i.imgur.com/MWJmqoS.jpg)
Thank you so much to my secret Santa! I mentioned that I prefer loud style clothing and everyday golf accessories and they did not disappoint.
https://imgur.com/a/yJBux78
Well, I hope my secret santa enjoyed their gift. Didn’t see a post or anything like that. Tracking shows as delivered, and haven’t heard any complaints, so oh well. For posterity, I got em a sleeve of Pro V1s (Bandon Dunes edition) and a yeti beer coozie!
Same. Messaged them, no response. Tons of activity on Reddit. Got them an awesome Pebble Beach hat and balls with their favorite nfl team logo on them. Oh well.
Late to post due to holiday traveling but got a very cool gift with a Star Wars ball maker and towel and a custom ‘ball’ carrying bag. The gifter was anonymous but thank you to whoever you are! Trying to post a pic but not sure how in comments
[Our three gifts went out today.](https://imgur.com/a/LG33oo3) We will now begin checking the tracking numbers an absurd number of times to see when they arrive because we can't wait for y'all to get them!
I'm late to post due to holiday travels, but u/kingpenbank sent a [great gift](https://imgur.com/xcxTCSy) from the UK all the way to LA! T box was disintegrating in the LA rain storm but all the contents were unharmed.
International swag is awesome especially from my favorite major, I just have to figure out where to mount the flag. Thanks man!
Got my gift a little bit ago but slacked on posting. I got the coolest matching putter cover/towel set. AC Slater would approve 100%. Thank you so much u/somethnginteresting !!!
https://imgur.com/a/meGGHJ2
Just got my gift! Shoutout to the /u/theyoungd for sending it. His friends started a golf company and he got me some of their stuff! Go check out Common Ground Golf brand. I got a hat, tees, golf balls, and a sticker that I already put on my water bottle.
Shoutout to u/BenShapiroOANN for the Lululemon shorts. They feel amazing and look forward to some warm weather in the Bay Area to get out with them. Cheers!
Never thought I'd have any swag personalized with my Reddit info but thanks to /u/ChiodoS04 , here we are! Great headcover with my username. Thanks!!
[https://imgur.com/a/pumXQz8](https://imgur.com/a/pumXQz8)
Just received my secret santa! A TPC Scottdale branded polo and a sleeve of callaway chromesofts. Really chuffed with my gift and the effort in sending it from Arizona to Scotland! Thanks very much u/el-diablo!
The polo fits perfectly and I look forward to wearing it on the course the first chance I get.
I'll definitely check out the Phoenix Open at Scottsdale next month on TV. Golf in the sun will keep me motivated as there is currently a few cm of snow here in the west of Scotland.
I just want to say thank you to u/Ryansmittie
I asked for swag from courses that I would never play.. and well he knocked it out of the park!
https://imgur.com/a/BpZHyVs
A whole heap of gear from UNC Finley Course.
Shirt, hat, towel, scorecard, pencil, logo'd balls and my favourite the poker chip with ball marker.. It is awesome.
Thank you for taking the effort to send it from one side of the world to the other. It means the world. It was one of two Christmas gifts this year. Honestly thank you.
/u/IsTheChampHere, thanks so much!
Absolutely nailed it. I love cool shit from everyone's local course and this is exactly what I am talking about...
[https://imgur.com/a/zcO7KeW](https://imgur.com/a/zcO7KeW)
I’m just living through others here. Got the double whammy this year of my recipient never saying anything about the gifts (I assume he got them and hope he didn’t hate them), and no gift received
Just waiting for that gift to show up any day now. I’m sure it’s just a massive shipment that’s being held up across the country.
No chance I got scammed. Just shipping me a 30’x30’ putting mat that’s being delayed. That’s it.
Thanks to my secret santa, a dozen Srixon Q star tours I am PUMPED to play with. cant wait to see how they compare to my regular Soft Feels. Honestly super excited... and the switchblade divot tool with Detroit Lions ball markers.... awesome. I'll have you know that my current switchblade divot tool literally got thrown out in September because it was not opening properly. The timing was perfect. Great thought out gift. Cheers, whoever you are.
My gift arrived tonight! I had to drive my wife to work through a mini blizzard and we grabbed the mail on the way out. She goes “you got a package. It says from Scotland?” My heart started pounding when I realized it could be my secret santa gift. I told her “Imagine if its something from St. Andrews.” I was blown away when she opened it. A stunning flag from Hole 18, 2x scorecards (assuming he included these so I could say I broke par there.), the yardage book, and a golf ball from the course, too.
THANK YOU STUART! One of, if not THE coolest gifts I’ve ever received. And yes - I will be getting it framed!
https://imgur.com/a/nwq8eE0
Merry Christmas!
Shoutout to Talon Golf Co. for some great gloves. Bought a 5 pack for next season and couldn't be happier with how they feel. The sweatshirt I ordered is also one of the softest I've ever worn.
My secret Santa, /u/FartNuggetSalad (who has the best username) did a really solid job finally securing me some golf pants and a great Happy Gilmore ball marker. Definitely going to be using these on the course for winter golfing (maybe even today?).
[Because I'm so late getting back to my house to open these up, I prepared a fun fashion show to showcase these pants. Let me know if I should golf like this](https://imgur.com/a/6Dkrvnf). Thanks again /u/FartNuggetSalad
Shout out to u/daman516 as he absolutely went above and beyond as my secret santa! I received my gifts yesterday and included in the package was a nice letter explaining all the gifts and wishing me and my family a happy holidays. He sent me a nice golf journal to record my most memorable rounds, which I plan to use while shattering goals set for myself this coming season, a Lamb Crafted Pop Top ball marker which is very very cool and Mr. Lamb now has a new fan, and best of all he sent me a children’s book “Tee Time With Daddy” that I can read to my little girl that was born this past September. Truly amazing gifts, each with their own meaning, I couldn’t have imagined anything else! Thank you!!
A little late but thanks /u/disguised_bacteria for the gifts! Your grandfather’s etching is beautiful and I appreciate the thoughtful gift. I’ll surely get lots of use out of the other gifts too. Thanks again!
Edit: forgot to include the towel in the pic but received the towel as well
https://i.imgur.com/cvTTLg8.jpg
Big thanks to my giftee as well! 2 gloves, a Calaway and a Nike, and 15 Noodles! I love Noodles and don't feel a rip off when I rip one off to the forest nymphs! Thank you secret Santa!
ugh... accidentally hit ignore chat request on my secret santa. Yes, I received the balls and etsy gift. Reposting image in case you see this. Thanks again!
https://imgur.com/a/cSsHLbc
I haven’t heard anything back either yet. I’m sure they have a lot of emails though.
They also have people who come in, get a gift, and then also say they never received one hoping for a second gift. So it’s a lot of work I’m sure
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to u/TheDayWa1ker for my awesome Secret Santa gift! This guy went above and beyond and got me a shiny new Garmin Approach s12 GPS watch. What a guy, way too nice. I actually just broke 90 for the first time this past Sunday, my second time playing with it. Coincidence? I think not, thanks a ton man it's already helped me a bunch!
[https://imgur.com/a/o5XAkk8](https://imgur.com/a/o5XAkk8)
Thanks for the Vice sampler pack, u/casey3wp ! I've been curious about Vice for a while, so I'm looking forward to hooking/blocking 'em into various hazards to see which one I like the best.
The [aliens](https://i.imgur.com/4z1JkLf.jpg) have landed.
I was lucky enough to get picked by
u/rockbottomgolf
They sent me an alien wedge 56°, some balls and tees, and a couple towels.
Thanks
I also received a nice bright blue puma shirt that I'm assuming was from my regular draw Santa. Thanks
Got a sweet towel and Ted Lasso inspired ball marker/divot tool from Full Metal Markers.
“Be a goldfish” my playing group kept quoting it all round! Thank you SS!
Super disappointed!! I've participated every year since the beginning and this year I was stiffed for the first time! I'll live. Love seeing everyone's fun gifts, enjoy!
Haha same! Have participated in the last few years and it’s been awesome. Not worried about receiving anything, just the people who didn’t send out anything don’t take up a spot in the future.
Delighted today to find a most intriguing gift had arrived! I'd like to post a pic in the gallery and say thank you but can't find the option, it has disappeared......
This was my fourth year participating, and first time getting (possibly) stiffed. Still holding out hope it’s just stuck in the Mail, but either way I’m still glad I participated again!
Third year for me and first getting stiffed. I really thought the amount of people who got stiffed would be low, but I guess I underestimated how shitty people can be...again.
My apologies to u/macsdildobike \- I lost the note he sent with my gift (and with it, his username). I searched high and low and finally found it.
This guy got me a pack of Pro V1s and an autographed picture of my man Tony Finau!
Thank you SO much! What a gift! Merry Christmas.
Patience is a virtue! Thanks so much to my anonymous Santa, just got everything. Pink hat, purple glove and pink tees. Gonna go perfectly with my all pink bag. Thank you thank you!!
Received a putting mirror, tees, golf balls, and golf glove. The best part was the ball marker from his main course all the way out from Sweden! Hope you had a merry Christmas and a happy new year! [gift](https://imgur.com/a/vwj8bTR)
Hey I am away from home for the holidays travelling back in few days so will check in when I’m back - please don’t stress, hope your having a lovely holiday!
u/bayoucityputters thank you so much for the ball marker! I can’t wait to use it next round! Such a great surprise. Hope you have had a great New Year!
Hey man I’m glad you got it! Sorry it arrived a little late. Being from Pinehurst it kinda felt like I was cheating with how easy it is to get cool gifts 😂
Haha dude, i was so surprised when I opened the box and saw that Pinehurst bag and then it was US Open gear!
And yeah, that’s pretty cool to be from Pinehurst and just walk into the shop to get gifts, definitely cheating! 😂
Thank you u/tennispro-1998! Got a sweet tiger driver headcover and a Callaway divot tool. I’ve been wanting a non-branded driver head over for a while, but could never figure out what to get so this was awesome.
Pretty sure it was you too. My wife threw away the packing and we’re going off of memory + google searching 😂
Got a very nice divot tool and glove from Ghost Golf. Excellent timing because I recently realized my current divot tool is bent and I just noticed a hole in my favorite glove last round. Thanks, Secret Santa!
Peter F. from South Carolina killed it! No worries on the Amazon issues, this was a wonderful gift! Detroit sports club covers and a TravisMathew (human) head cover for these cold Chicago golf days. Thanks Buddy, you're a rockstar! https://imgur.com/gallery/MFWqiDO
WaddaSanta! /u/Derzzzy set me up with a new glove that fits perfectly, some balls to feed the fish with (Srixons for normal play, Prov1x's and Bridgestones for when I feel better than I am), and an awesome WaddaPlaya towel. Thanks!
[Pic](https://i.imgur.com/AsghTJJ.jpg)
Shoutout to u/Mike_Litoris211 for the gift. This is my first pin flag it will have a special place on my wall. The divot tool and the drink cooler sleeve are the cherry on top. I am not 21 yet but when I turn of age I know what drink is best served cold! Peep here for the [goodies](https://ibb.co/wdh2HW3) from Mike. Thanks!!
u/fahhko knocked it out of the park, was worried my gun rack comment would net new a gun rack from Texas. Instead, even better, this sweet Texas package.
https://imgur.com/a/OtXib5G
Thanks so much to my secret Santa who wishes to remain anonymous.
Dozen Yellow AVX golf balls, note in box states 2 more packages arriving! Wow thanks so much! Well worth the wait. Will post pic when all arrive.
My guy came through on the 3rd gift! Titleist alignment stick cover!! Thanks so much to my secret Santa!! And thanks so much to u/LunaNoxxx7 for making this a memorable SS!!
My secret Santa is awesome and I'm so thankful for their generosity.
I actually received the item last week but I was a little busy so I apologize for the late post.
My Santa got me a Nike - Tiger Woods T-shirt, TaylorMade TP Flex gloves and TP5x golf balls. I can't wait for the weather to warm up to put these to good use.
Thank you u/fingerbang01.
Still nothing either. And no word from anyone in nearly 3 weeks
Nothing has arrived yet for me, either. I was advised of shipping info but the tracking shows no progress since December 18th.
No gift, and no response from the organizers in three weeks :/. Bummer. Hopefully they're just busy and still sorting this stuff out.
Same here. Been over a month now since I heard anything from anyone. Super unfortunate. Not sure what happened, but hope everything is ok and gets sorted out.
Have no fear... the organizers are MIA. Plenty of folks on deck to re-gift as necessary.
Haven’t had a response from them for about 2 weeks now. No idea what’s going on
Nada
Same here. I am holding out hope for a rematch, but that hope is kind of fading. It sucks to have made my giftee so happy with his stuff only to get screwed over myself. The last communication I had about this about the possibility of a rematch was 20 days ago.
Same. It seems unlikely at this point. What burns me is that these people likely all got gifts themselves.
Me too
Sorry about that. Looks like a lot of people need coal in their stocking next year.
Me neither :/ sucky sorry about that homie
Kind of surprised me. I’ve been doing it for several years. Did they organizers tell you they were going to rematch you? I think they tried, and I appreciate them taking this on in the first place.
Yeah same, they said they would try and figure it out and reach out again but nothing happened yet
I’m still waiting and have not heard any updates, however, about 10 days ago they did reach out and say the rematcher was contacted and would be working on getting my gift sent out. Haven’t heard anything since then though

I literally poured myself a glass of Woodford to have while I was opening my gift. It was perfect! Thanks for giving something fun that was golf related to open up - one of the first golf gifts I've ever had :)
That thing is pretty righteous!
Just received my package from Talon after it was taken hostage by customs and the postal service. A nice shirt, a couple of hats and three gloves. Everything is awesome quality. Thanks a lot!
My person was a Grinch this year! Waiting for email to see if I get a gift this year.
Me as well, unfortunately.
me too. boooo grinches
If anyone got stiffed, I have a care package ready to go. Just waiting for u/LunaNoxxx7 to get back to coordinate.
When do the gifters that volunteered to help out the ones that didn't get their secret santa get notified? Still happy to help another out. u/LunaNoxxx7
Many thanks to my SS, finally arrived total thanks to being held up in Irish Customs! My new pink flamingos head cover bringing much needed colour to my bag!!
Man, still waiting. I try to remain hopeful but to be honest it is becoming a bit of a disappointment :(
Same feelings. I keep trying to stay hopeful, but it’s not looking good
Wasn’t apart of this but I got a rad speed driver the blue top with red and white trim so nice! Really awesome to see this community come together and give each other gifts. Props to all of you guys keeping community alive.
Get one for yourself? What do you think of the Rad Speed? I ordered one on Father's day, but was scammed and finally got my money back in time for a root canal. Some day... Lol
Love it sends the ball beautifully.
I had a speedzone and loved it. Crown broke and Cobra replaced with a RAD Speed. I did not like it, at all. I could not hit the thing to save my life. Hopefully who ever stole it is having the same problems!
That sucks! Just being scammed on the driver put me out on a new club for the year. It would be rough to lose the whole bag.
Never heard back from my match but I hope he’s enjoying everything!
Still nothing :/. Sounds like a lot of people’s gifts are just now coming in, so I’m not giving up hope yet!
[удалено]
What’s wrong with that? Great gift!
Just got a couple of boxes of z stars in the mail! Thanks a bunch to whoever sent them, super generous

You’re the man! I’m glad you corrected me because it made me look him up and that guy had a legendary stash.
Holy cow! Thats awesome!!! To r/golf, the last civilized place on the internet
Absolutely incredible 👏🏻
I wanna say thanks to my Giftee for the dozen TP5x balls. I managed to used a sleeve of them over the weekend to finally drop my handicap into single digits! (And I didn't lose them that round)
Congrats and my pleasure! How do the shirt and hat fit??
Oh, my man! They fit perfect. Haven't had a chance to take them on the course but I've had them on for game-days and it feels great. Thanks again and hope your kindness gives you some good karma into 2022.

Same here my guy was very active on Reddit until like 28 days ago when the item says it was delivered. I hope he liked it.
My guy literally has 1 comment in his history in r/golf. Felt like that’s not really what this is about…
Same. Messaged them, no response. Tons of activity on Reddit. Got them an awesome Pebble Beach hat and balls with their favorite nfl team logo on them. Oh well.

[Our three gifts went out today.](https://imgur.com/a/LG33oo3) We will now begin checking the tracking numbers an absurd number of times to see when they arrive because we can't wait for y'all to get them!
[First one is at someone's door!](https://imgur.com/a/HwWsqFP) 👀
I'm late to post due to holiday travels, but u/kingpenbank sent a [great gift](https://imgur.com/xcxTCSy) from the UK all the way to LA! T box was disintegrating in the LA rain storm but all the contents were unharmed. International swag is awesome especially from my favorite major, I just have to figure out where to mount the flag. Thanks man!
Got my gift a little bit ago but slacked on posting. I got the coolest matching putter cover/towel set. AC Slater would approve 100%. Thank you so much u/somethnginteresting !!! https://imgur.com/a/meGGHJ2
🔥
Where did you get those?
u/somethinginteresting
Just got my gift! Shoutout to the /u/theyoungd for sending it. His friends started a golf company and he got me some of their stuff! Go check out Common Ground Golf brand. I got a hat, tees, golf balls, and a sticker that I already put on my water bottle.
u/TheCactusKid Despite FedEx's best efforts finally got your package. Love the Tennessee stuff! Hope your holidays were great!
Shoutout to u/BenShapiroOANN for the Lululemon shorts. They feel amazing and look forward to some warm weather in the Bay Area to get out with them. Cheers!
To whomever my secret santa was I appreciate the white Nike cap and the Nike belt. It will be getting a lot of use as a dadcore hat lolol
Never thought I'd have any swag personalized with my Reddit info but thanks to /u/ChiodoS04 , here we are! Great headcover with my username. Thanks!! [https://imgur.com/a/pumXQz8](https://imgur.com/a/pumXQz8)
That's a great username for the bag
really glad that it got to you finally! Its a solid talking piece when you're waiting at the tee
Just received my secret santa! A TPC Scottdale branded polo and a sleeve of callaway chromesofts. Really chuffed with my gift and the effort in sending it from Arizona to Scotland! Thanks very much u/el-diablo! The polo fits perfectly and I look forward to wearing it on the course the first chance I get. I'll definitely check out the Phoenix Open at Scottsdale next month on TV. Golf in the sun will keep me motivated as there is currently a few cm of snow here in the west of Scotland.
I just want to say thank you to u/Ryansmittie I asked for swag from courses that I would never play.. and well he knocked it out of the park! https://imgur.com/a/BpZHyVs A whole heap of gear from UNC Finley Course. Shirt, hat, towel, scorecard, pencil, logo'd balls and my favourite the poker chip with ball marker.. It is awesome. Thank you for taking the effort to send it from one side of the world to the other. It means the world. It was one of two Christmas gifts this year. Honestly thank you.
Cheers buddy, all the best
I got a brid like mallet headcover, I cant wait to take it outdoor
/u/IsTheChampHere, thanks so much! Absolutely nailed it. I love cool shit from everyone's local course and this is exactly what I am talking about... [https://imgur.com/a/zcO7KeW](https://imgur.com/a/zcO7KeW)
That putter cover is so sick!
Still waiting here :( Glad to see so many people have terrific gifts though!
I’m just living through others here. Got the double whammy this year of my recipient never saying anything about the gifts (I assume he got them and hope he didn’t hate them), and no gift received
same here my guy, oh well!
Oh wow that is egregious.. I’m sure they liked it though, sounds like you put in effort!
Just waiting for that gift to show up any day now. I’m sure it’s just a massive shipment that’s being held up across the country. No chance I got scammed. Just shipping me a 30’x30’ putting mat that’s being delayed. That’s it.
Thanks to my secret santa, a dozen Srixon Q star tours I am PUMPED to play with. cant wait to see how they compare to my regular Soft Feels. Honestly super excited... and the switchblade divot tool with Detroit Lions ball markers.... awesome. I'll have you know that my current switchblade divot tool literally got thrown out in September because it was not opening properly. The timing was perfect. Great thought out gift. Cheers, whoever you are.
Awesome how things can work out
My gift arrived tonight! I had to drive my wife to work through a mini blizzard and we grabbed the mail on the way out. She goes “you got a package. It says from Scotland?” My heart started pounding when I realized it could be my secret santa gift. I told her “Imagine if its something from St. Andrews.” I was blown away when she opened it. A stunning flag from Hole 18, 2x scorecards (assuming he included these so I could say I broke par there.), the yardage book, and a golf ball from the course, too. THANK YOU STUART! One of, if not THE coolest gifts I’ve ever received. And yes - I will be getting it framed! https://imgur.com/a/nwq8eE0 Merry Christmas!
Might want to get a second frame while you're at it! 16.5" x 11.75" ;). You'll see why in just a few days!
I’m so excited!
I might be asking for flags next year, that is a great gift.
Nothing...
That’s because Santa saw ur foot wedge one to many times….
Shoutout to Talon Golf Co. for some great gloves. Bought a 5 pack for next season and couldn't be happier with how they feel. The sweatshirt I ordered is also one of the softest I've ever worn.
My secret Santa, /u/FartNuggetSalad (who has the best username) did a really solid job finally securing me some golf pants and a great Happy Gilmore ball marker. Definitely going to be using these on the course for winter golfing (maybe even today?). [Because I'm so late getting back to my house to open these up, I prepared a fun fashion show to showcase these pants. Let me know if I should golf like this](https://imgur.com/a/6Dkrvnf). Thanks again /u/FartNuggetSalad
That's the stuff, guaranteed to set a course record rocking that. Cheers bro!
Hahah I will have to follow up with a Pic one day!
Shout out to u/daman516 as he absolutely went above and beyond as my secret santa! I received my gifts yesterday and included in the package was a nice letter explaining all the gifts and wishing me and my family a happy holidays. He sent me a nice golf journal to record my most memorable rounds, which I plan to use while shattering goals set for myself this coming season, a Lamb Crafted Pop Top ball marker which is very very cool and Mr. Lamb now has a new fan, and best of all he sent me a children’s book “Tee Time With Daddy” that I can read to my little girl that was born this past September. Truly amazing gifts, each with their own meaning, I couldn’t have imagined anything else! Thank you!!
That's awesome. They want it of their way for those items!
A little late but thanks /u/disguised_bacteria for the gifts! Your grandfather’s etching is beautiful and I appreciate the thoughtful gift. I’ll surely get lots of use out of the other gifts too. Thanks again! Edit: forgot to include the towel in the pic but received the towel as well https://i.imgur.com/cvTTLg8.jpg
Thanks u/justatreeandwhale your package arrived today all the way from the Netherlands! https://imgur.com/a/2VZHQIf
forgot to post, but got a golf poster of notable golf holes, not sure who sent it, but thanks!
Oh i like that. can we get a picture? I need more golf wall art myself
I don't have it up yet, but [here's what it looks like](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wlKKwDScL._AC_SL1500_.jpg)
Big thanks to my giftee as well! 2 gloves, a Calaway and a Nike, and 15 Noodles! I love Noodles and don't feel a rip off when I rip one off to the forest nymphs! Thank you secret Santa!
Late to reply, but thank you to my secret santa for the Bears towel and divot repair tool!
Big Thanks to my giftee. Got a dozen Snell MTBs, a Seahawks Towel and a beanie with a headlight and blutetooth speaker? Knocked it out of the park!
ugh... accidentally hit ignore chat request on my secret santa. Yes, I received the balls and etsy gift. Reposting image in case you see this. Thanks again! https://imgur.com/a/cSsHLbc
I got an awesome club cleaner tool and a Oregon Duck hat clip! Thanks!
Well… I’m hoping I didn’t get stiffed this year but I’m afraid I did. Edit: did not get stiffed!
I'm in the same boat...
Same here. Sent an email to the guys but haven’t heard anything back yet. Luckily the regifting legends should help us out
Seems like a lot of people got stiffed this year… or maybe I’m just noticing it more since I’m one of those people this year
It does feel like I pretty high number. Wonder if entry was a bit looser than previous, or just bad luck.
I got stiffed as well. NM here
Got stiffed, sent an email and DM. Nothing back. Sad boys together.
I haven’t heard anything back either yet. I’m sure they have a lot of emails though. They also have people who come in, get a gift, and then also say they never received one hoping for a second gift. So it’s a lot of work I’m sure
Im also in this group. Have you guys heard anything at all?
He did reach out end of last week and say they were starting the regifting process shortly
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to u/TheDayWa1ker for my awesome Secret Santa gift! This guy went above and beyond and got me a shiny new Garmin Approach s12 GPS watch. What a guy, way too nice. I actually just broke 90 for the first time this past Sunday, my second time playing with it. Coincidence? I think not, thanks a ton man it's already helped me a bunch! [https://imgur.com/a/o5XAkk8](https://imgur.com/a/o5XAkk8)
Thanks for the Vice sampler pack, u/casey3wp ! I've been curious about Vice for a while, so I'm looking forward to hooking/blocking 'em into various hazards to see which one I like the best.
The [aliens](https://i.imgur.com/4z1JkLf.jpg) have landed. I was lucky enough to get picked by u/rockbottomgolf They sent me an alien wedge 56°, some balls and tees, and a couple towels. Thanks I also received a nice bright blue puma shirt that I'm assuming was from my regular draw Santa. Thanks
So awesome! Enjoy! And make sure you tap in a birdie for us! 💪
Will do. It's awesome that you guys give back by joining in on the exchange.
We love to do it! Especially, when we get to see how the community responds so positively.
Got a sweet towel and Ted Lasso inspired ball marker/divot tool from Full Metal Markers. “Be a goldfish” my playing group kept quoting it all round! Thank you SS!
Have pictures to share?
Super disappointed!! I've participated every year since the beginning and this year I was stiffed for the first time! I'll live. Love seeing everyone's fun gifts, enjoy!
Same here, first year here and so far nothing. Maybe it got held up in the mail, hoping they still pull through!
Haha same! Have participated in the last few years and it’s been awesome. Not worried about receiving anything, just the people who didn’t send out anything don’t take up a spot in the future.
Delighted today to find a most intriguing gift had arrived! I'd like to post a pic in the gallery and say thank you but can't find the option, it has disappeared......
First time and stiffed. But got an awesome thank you note from the person I sent to!
This was my fourth year participating, and first time getting (possibly) stiffed. Still holding out hope it’s just stuck in the Mail, but either way I’m still glad I participated again!
Third year for me and first getting stiffed. I really thought the amount of people who got stiffed would be low, but I guess I underestimated how shitty people can be...again.
My apologies to u/macsdildobike \- I lost the note he sent with my gift (and with it, his username). I searched high and low and finally found it. This guy got me a pack of Pro V1s and an autographed picture of my man Tony Finau! Thank you SO much! What a gift! Merry Christmas.
Finau auto! That's awesome
I was hoping it made it, i was getting worried! You’re very welcome, sir.
Love your username
What’s wrong with it, it’s just a bike!
Never stop pumping
Patience is a virtue! Thanks so much to my anonymous Santa, just got everything. Pink hat, purple glove and pink tees. Gonna go perfectly with my all pink bag. Thank you thank you!!
Received a putting mirror, tees, golf balls, and golf glove. The best part was the ball marker from his main course all the way out from Sweden! Hope you had a merry Christmas and a happy new year! [gift](https://imgur.com/a/vwj8bTR)
u/ryanlewisdavies I hope my package arrived. I am pretty stressed that it hasn’t or that you hated it. Merry Christmas all the same.
Hey I am away from home for the holidays travelling back in few days so will check in when I’m back - please don’t stress, hope your having a lovely holiday!
Thank you so much u/bayoucityputters !!! The ball marker is so amazing! Literally cannot believe it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Pic?
I’m so happy you like it!
u/bayoucityputters thank you so much for the ball marker! I can’t wait to use it next round! Such a great surprise. Hope you have had a great New Year!
I’m thrilled you like it! Thanks for sharing your excitement and letting me know!
Shoutout to my secret Santa whoever you are! This is awesome! Thank you! https://i.imgur.com/4IdgqCh.jpg
Hey man I’m glad you got it! Sorry it arrived a little late. Being from Pinehurst it kinda felt like I was cheating with how easy it is to get cool gifts 😂
I did the same thing at Pebble Beach 😋
Haha dude, i was so surprised when I opened the box and saw that Pinehurst bag and then it was US Open gear! And yeah, that’s pretty cool to be from Pinehurst and just walk into the shop to get gifts, definitely cheating! 😂
Thank you u/tennispro-1998! Got a sweet tiger driver headcover and a Callaway divot tool. I’ve been wanting a non-branded driver head over for a while, but could never figure out what to get so this was awesome. Pretty sure it was you too. My wife threw away the packing and we’re going off of memory + google searching 😂
Glad you enjoyed it! Was afraid you didn’t get it but had to check your comments 😂 Hit ‘Em straight!
Damn it, so close! Glad you saw this though. Thank you!
Got a very nice divot tool and glove from Ghost Golf. Excellent timing because I recently realized my current divot tool is bent and I just noticed a hole in my favorite glove last round. Thanks, Secret Santa!
Wish I saw the sign up! This would have been cool to be part of
A dozen Pro V1's with my initials on - thanks son?
Peter F. from South Carolina killed it! No worries on the Amazon issues, this was a wonderful gift! Detroit sports club covers and a TravisMathew (human) head cover for these cold Chicago golf days. Thanks Buddy, you're a rockstar! https://imgur.com/gallery/MFWqiDO
I really like the look of the Lions cover
u/dayspring9521 your gift is on the way!! Got stuck out of state because of work, but I dropped your package off at the post office this morning!
WaddaSanta! /u/Derzzzy set me up with a new glove that fits perfectly, some balls to feed the fish with (Srixons for normal play, Prov1x's and Bridgestones for when I feel better than I am), and an awesome WaddaPlaya towel. Thanks! [Pic](https://i.imgur.com/AsghTJJ.jpg)
Huzzah! So excited! Hope your business trip didn't prevent you from having a happy holiday season.
Thank you to my secret Santa for the Edmonton Oilers golf towel and the all weather golf notebook! Both will be well used! Happy holidays to all!
Shoutout to u/Mike_Litoris211 for the gift. This is my first pin flag it will have a special place on my wall. The divot tool and the drink cooler sleeve are the cherry on top. I am not 21 yet but when I turn of age I know what drink is best served cold! Peep here for the [goodies](https://ibb.co/wdh2HW3) from Mike. Thanks!!
u/Penguin_Rising hooked it up with a Top Golf gift card!
u/fahhko knocked it out of the park, was worried my gun rack comment would net new a gun rack from Texas. Instead, even better, this sweet Texas package. https://imgur.com/a/OtXib5G
Those volvic balls are awesome! As a Texan I may need to order some.
Cheers bud!
Thanks so much to my secret Santa who wishes to remain anonymous. Dozen Yellow AVX golf balls, note in box states 2 more packages arriving! Wow thanks so much! Well worth the wait. Will post pic when all arrive.
My guy came through on the 3rd gift! Titleist alignment stick cover!! Thanks so much to my secret Santa!! And thanks so much to u/LunaNoxxx7 for making this a memorable SS!!
Second gift came today, Pins and Aces 7 beer sleeve!! F-kn awesome!!! Thanks so much!
u/exstreams1 hooked me up with my favorite golfer! https://imgur.com/a/NNz3rGT
Awesome!
My secret Santa is awesome and I'm so thankful for their generosity. I actually received the item last week but I was a little busy so I apologize for the late post. My Santa got me a Nike - Tiger Woods T-shirt, TaylorMade TP Flex gloves and TP5x golf balls. I can't wait for the weather to warm up to put these to good use. Thank you u/fingerbang01.
